When Skinny Bitch was first published, it quickly earned a spot on TheNew York Times bestseller list. And it goes without saying that it sold a lot of copies! It seemed as if authors Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin had found a niche. Lots of women (and men) wanted to be skinny bitches but just needed some help learning how. Enter sequel the, Skinny Bitch in the Kitch, an easy-to-understand recipe book with a variety of easy-to-cook vegan recipes that will satisfy even the fussiest “bitch.”

Kim and Rory, two self-confessed food lovers, offer their thoughts on food: “What’s better than eating? (If you say ‘sex,’ you’re either a liar or a pervert.) The answer is: Nothing!” This book gives readers the facts on why eating meat and dairy products is so bad for our health and how to have both a nutritious and enjoyable vegan diet. The authors have covered everything, including “Bitchin’ Breakfasts,” “PMS (Pissy Mood Snacks),” “Happy Endings” (desserts), and basically every meal for every occasion.

I found the ingredients easy to find and the meals simple to cook. Skinny Bitch is a humorous and informative introduction to the health benefits of a vegan diet, and Skinny Bitch in the Kitch gives you the tools (and recipes!) to be the person you want to be. I would recommend this book—which I consider to be both a self-help book and a cooking book—to anyone who is new to the vegan lifestyle and wants to get it right.
